Charlotte and owner Michael Jordan is awarded the 2017 All-Star Weekend back in 2015 and bill HB2 was not passed. Had this been the other way around, the NBA would have made sure that Charlotte's bid would be disqualified.

Last season, Toronto held its first ever NBA All-Star Weekend and it was the first time the NBA had an All-Star Weekend north of the border. Next year's All-Star Weekend in Charlotte remains in jeopardy and 2018 NBA All Star will be in Los Angeles.
